Smitty Project
The 849 ha Smitty Project is located 3km SW of Uranium City in northern Saskatchewan. Uranium City is located on the north shore of Lake Athabasca, 536km NNW of LaRonge and is accessible via scheduled flights from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and charter aircraft from Fort McMurray, Alberta. All season road access is available to Stoney Rapids then a 175km seasonal ice road to Uranium City via Fon-du-Lac. Uranium City is endowed with services such as hospital, lodging accommodations, groceries, fuel and airport.
The Smitty claims were acquired in 2023, have no underlying royalties or encumbrances and are road accessible from Uranium City. The property is host to two areas of past production of uranium ore, the Lorado and Pitchie zones. A detailed compilation and interpretation of available data from historical work programs has begun and will lead to recommendations for future work and more information for this webpage.
